So sad to see that these two doodles are still missing. What must their family be going through...
If all vets routinely scanned new dogs brought to their surgeries, more might be identified - though I know that microchips can 'travel'.
Hoping that Barnie and Robbie are found safe and returned to their loving home -

I saw this mentioned in a magazine the other day being spear headed by Brucie and his family but my PC won't link it for some security reason......it's

vetsgetscanning.co.uk
there's also a petition to sign on there.

We really shouldn't have to do this it should be an automatic thing that the vets do as routine or maybe the receptionist could to match up as you book in ........so easy to put in place (maybe just maybe it might happen when we get compulsory chipping)

Vince doodle ...you will always find him in the kitchen at parties ......

This is so true. Our local rescue routinely scans for 'chips. Often, the owners don't want their 'pet' back - but, they rescued one Staffy from the pound (time up, due to be killed - could say 'euthanised' or 'pts' but basically, killed). They scanned him - and his owner was found!!! He was a long way from home and she'd notified all her local pounds, police, wardens, etc. She might have lost him and never known what had happened to him - but scanning his microchip reunited them.
Why do we micro-chip our beloved dogs when it is ignored? The Government just want it to be able to identify owners for their own purposes. We want it to protect our dogs...

Thanks for bumping ...... Thought they might have been found by now....they have to be somewhere .......keep your eyes and ears open foks ...... if they have been taken and sold the chances are they are not together so look very closely at any new choccie doods that might appear in your area.

This must be heartbreaking for their owner! I noticed earlier that there was a post about vets not checking microchips of new dogs. Maybe it's not common practice, but my vet did on Dexter's first visit.

I think these dogs have been stolen..... no sightings..... no bodies, so someone must have them.
The heartbreak this must have caused
Lets keep bumping up so that new members are aware..... and keep looking folks
